Bonnie Plunket from Mom.

I wouldn't call myself a fan of that show, but I have seen enough of it in order to say this: That woman is a word that I can't say.

The following are my favorite TV moms.

Perfect Strangers-Balki's mom
Family Matters-Harriette and Rachel
Home Improvement-Jill
Step By Step-Carol
7th Heaven-Annie and Lucy
Reba-Reba

God bless you always!!!

From Donna to Madonna

Donna Reed. America's young girls went from that real woman to a slut from Hell as a role model.

When Donna Reed replaced that simpering Barbara Bel Geddes as Jock Ewing's wife, it made his devotion to her a lot more believable. She was an angel, and so was her daughter on her own show, Shelley Fabares.

Harriet Nelson, Ozzie and Harriet

I caught the first episode on hbo of "hard." It's in spanish with subtitles, but similar in a way to weeds. Woman with two kids has her "ideal" husband die accidentally, and she inherits a porn empire and no other assets.Hard (TV Series 2020– ) - IMDb

June Cleaver
Carol Brady
Lily Munster
Shirley Partridge
Caroline Engalls

I was going to start a thread Best TV Dad's. I wanted to prove a point that no one would pick any black dads.

Do you guys mind if I change this to top tv mom's AND dads? I'll chime in on my favorite moms next but I was more thinking about Dads. Who would be on the list?

Yes

His character, for sure. Doesn't matter what the real man is like in real life. This was an iconic black tv dad.

Roger's dad would not make the cut

The death of Estelle Costanza made me think about some of the best TV moms in history...

My nominations....... not in order:

Estelle Castanza



Marie Ramone



Edith Bunker



Kitty Foreman

I tried not to look at other people's answers.

Mothers on

Pettycoat Junction
Munsters
Adams Family
Family Ties
Lost in Space

Funny thing is, you know who doesn't make the top 5? The woman who starred in the tv show, MOM. LOL.
